TWiST title sequence. Jason: Hey, everybody. Hey, everybody. It's Jason Calacanis. We are here at the Launch Festival. It's March 3 and the festival is starting tomorrow. I'm getting all the tables set up all the chairs. Just last week I was using GoTo Meeting to meet with all these great companies and to show off their great products. Now they're going to be on stage here in front of 5,800 people registered for the event. I just want to take a moment to thank the sponsor of ThisWeekIn Startups, GoTo Meeting. Meeting is Believing. As you guys know I've been using the product for years. They were gracious enough to support the program when I needed help. You know to help fund the program and get all these great founder interviews. I use the HD Faces feature all the time. When I was up here in San Francisco I used my iPad mini to do the camera. This is an incredible moment. I was using GoTo Meeting on my iPad and I had GoTo Meeting on my laptop. I was using the GoTo Meeting iPad mini to telecast, stream my iPhone. Cause I was showing someone an app on it. So I just set it up. It was incredible. It was like I had a little production studio with GoTo Meeting. I'm really happy to announce that they're going to give a great contest. As you know, it's winter, it's freezing, it's cold. If you could host a meeting anywhere, where would it be and why? That's the question I need you to answer. Where would you host your meeting and why? Like, for me, it would probably be Kauai on Hanalei Bay. But, where would you host yours and why? Tweet your answer to #twistipad as well as #gotomeeting. Yes. Twist. Where would you host your meeting from and why? #twistipad and #gotomeeting. You gotta do that in like 140 characters so it's not going to be easy. Of course go get a 30 day trial. Visit GoTo Meeting, click on the 'try it free' button, use the promo code TWIST.
